Green Tides: The Suez Canal as Key Hub and Green Corridor for a Hydrogen Future Between the Middle East and Europe
Feb 2025
Publication
The shipping industry faces the dual challenge of reducing emissions to meet net-zero targets by 2050 and transporting green energy sources like hydrogen and its derivatives. Green shipping corridors provide experimental routes for lowcarbon solutions with the Suez Canal uniquely positioned to lead. This paper examines the canal’s evolving role as a dynamic energy space where diverse actors and networks intersect shaping spatial power relations and ali Read More

The Role of Hydrogen in the Ecological Benefits of Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel Production and Use: An LCA Benchmark
Apr 2019
Publication
Desulphurization of oil-based fuels is common practice to mitigate the ecological burden to ecosystems and human health of SOx emissions. In many countries fuels for vehicles are restricted to 10 ppm sulphur. For marine fuels low sulphur contents are under discussion. The environmental impact of desulphurization processes is however quite high: (1) The main current source for industrial hydrogen is Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) with a r Read More
Providing the Transport Sector in Europe with Fossil Free Energy - A Model-based Analysis under Consideration of the MENA Region
Mar 2025
Publication
For reaching the European greenhouse gas emission targets the phase-in of alternative technologies and energy carriers is crucial for all sectors. For the transport sector synthetic fuels are–next to electromobility–a promising option especially for long-distance shipping and air transport. Within this context the import of synthetic fuels from the Middle East and Northern Africa (MENA) region seems attractive due to low costs for renewable electricity in this Read More
Research Sites of the H2STORE Project and the Relevance of Lithological Variations for Hydrogen Storage at Depths
Sep 2013
Publication
The H2STORE collaborative project investigates potential geohydraulic petrophysical mineralogical microbiological and geochemical interactions induced by the injection of hydrogen into depleted gas reservoirs and CO2- and town gas storage sites. In this context the University of Jena performs mineralogical and geochemical investigations on reservoir and cap rocks to evaluate the relevance of preferential sedimentological features which will control fluid ( Read More
Preliminary Design of Regional Aircraft—Integration of a Fuel Cell-Electric Energy Network in SUAVE
Mar 2025
Publication
To enable climate-neutral aviation improving the energy efficiency of aircraft is essential. The research project Synergies of Highly Integrated Transport Aircraft investigates cross-disciplinary synergies in aircraft and propulsion technologies to achieve energy savings. This study examines a fuel cell electric powered configuration with distributed electric propulsion. For this a reverse-engineered ATR 72-500 serves as a reference model for calibrating t Read More
Review and Evaluation of Hydrogen and Air Heat Exchangers for Fuel Cell-Powered Electric Aircraft Propulsion
Mar 2025
Publication
Hydrogen fuel cell systems are a viable option for electrified aero engines due to their efficiency and environmental benefits. However integrating these systems presents challenges notably in terms of overall system weight and thermal management. Heat exchangers are crucial for the effective thermal management system of electric propulsion systems in commercial electrified aviation. This paper provides a comprehensive review of various hea Read More
